Is it possible to have the drag/drop area as a Sprite?

[AS]var spr:Sprite = this.rawChildren.getChildByName(cd.target) as Sprite;  
spr.addEventListener(DragEvent.DRAG\_DROP,doDragDrop);  
spr.addEventListener(DragEvent.DRAG\_ENTER,doDragEnter);  
spr.addEventListener(DragEvent.DRAG\_OVER,doDragOver);[/AS]

None of these events trigger, but if I try it as a canvas it works. So can I conclude that the DragManager doesn’t support rawChildren?
